Chris Cornell singing ONE but playing ONE

[Bronski]

Lyrics of One by Metallica to the tune of One by U2. Absolutely brilliant...and at the same time quite sad to hear Chris singing these words.

Can't remember anything
Is this true or just a dream?
Deep down inside I feel to scream
Terrible silence stopping me
Now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up, but I can't see
That there's ain't much left of me
Nothing is real, nothing is real, but the pain now
Deep down inside it's much too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But I can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I can live
Fed through tube that's stuck in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off, cut this life off from me
Landmine has taken my sight
Took away my speech
Took away my hearing
Left me with life in hell
Darkness surrounds me
All I hear and all I see
I cannot live and I cannot die
I'm trapped in myself
Trapped in myself
Landmine has taken, taken my sight
Taken my hearing
Taken my eyes
Landmine has left me with life in hell
My body my holding cell
I cannot die
Now the world is gone I'm just one
Just one
Hold my breath as I'm wishing for death
Just one, please God, wake me God help me God take me
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Please, please God
Please God take me
